"76% of Americans agree that red wine can be good for your heart." That's true, and therefore 76% of Americans are correct. Where does it say, "76% of Americans believe chugging a box of Franzia Burgundy every night is good for your heart." ? Americans are stupid, but the first paragraph of TFA is stupiderer.

Rufus Lee King:EvilEgg: Rufus Lee King The outlets on that powerstrip are European, so it's doubtful that those are American retards.

ShawnDoc: Rufus Lee King Yeah, just look at those stupid Americans, what are they doing using EU plugs on their "American" appliances? That's crazy.

/Here's a hint, American outlets aren't round and recessed.

Also, there is Polish, or possibly Czech writing on the beer bottles.

Ok, ok. Youse guys needn't hock me to China, or nothin'. I just found that image after a quick search, and did not analyze it that intensely. At any rate, I have to commend you for your powers of observation.

I didn't observe nothing. I just vaguely recalled some other thread where this meme was mercilessly slapped down.

As you should be commended on your lack of same.

That's a good burn.

How old are you? Twelve?

So you expect to fark up with a snarky image like that and not to get insulted?

Anericans are being conditioned to respond to a bland, watered-down "culture" filled with essentially mindless entertainments whose underlying message is "don't worry, be happy." Education is a sad joke in this country, not because teachers aren't trying, but because they are competing with a pop culture industry that spends billions more each year than our schools can afford. And the so-called "news media," those liberal swines, are as much a part of the problem as Justin Bieber, whatever that is.

FTFY.

oh and it continues61% believed, incorrectly, that sea salt had less sodium than regular salt.

by volume it does contain less sodium and I don't know anyone who weighs the salt they use so really the fact that sea salt and table salt have the same content by weight doesn't matter

Sea salt means lots of stuff - some of it has some potassium and thus a bit less sodium.

Not "need to cut back on sodium before my heart explodes" less sodium, though.

I was trying to leave the chemical makeup of it out of the equation because you can take ten different sea salts and they will all be different. the point was that in practice less is used thus less sodium is consumed

Oh, could be. I think I've only ever had the cheap stuff which pretty much just tastes like salt to me.

OT: I keep morton's light salt (1/3 or 1/2 potassium or so) around to make hydration solution, and it tastes funny.

Came here to say this. Would have said it first if i wasn't reading other links.

ph0rk:Sea salt means lots of stuff - some of it has some potassium and thus a bit less sodium.

Sea salt is also rated sometimes rated by its flavor and color. Any flavor other than "salty" and any color other than "-less" means there's less salt. Of course to get the same salty flavor you need a greater volume of it, and then you bring the sodium level right back up... but yeah.

I was thinking those guys were demonstrating how awesome their non-electrocuting waterproof power strip was.
